The outside gardens aren't spectacular but they are continually adding to them. However, the HUGE bronze horse alone is worth the trip and there are other nice bronze sculptures as well. Take your camera. Quote \| Reply \| Report

But with a $12 entry fee be warned, To be honest you could go and walk around the parking lot and see better beds without paying to get in. Those beds look great and are well maintained -- suck you in when i get more time ill size more photos that explain what im saying a bit better. Took over 100 while there [IMG]http://www.dhs3.com/meijer/victorian.jpg[/IMG ] Quote \| Reply \| Report
